Vulnerable Radiators ?

They do look vulnerable, don't they? Yet after 12 years of Macan ownership I've never yet had a problem (famous last words! 😰). I did toy with the idea of fitting mesh to the openings, but decided it was more advantageous to maintain access for removing dead leaves and similar detritus as this certainly will damage the rads if left.

I'm sure the Zunsport grills are superb, but I've always regarded them as being overkill and expensive. If you're DIY minded you can buy suitable mesh on line and fit it using industrial Velcro. This does a much better job IMHO nicer looking, lighter and considerably cheaper too.

I described the process in a 992 post here. Unfortunately due to government intervention, the company hosting the photographs decided to no longer display in UK, so you'll need a VPN if you want to see them. 😉

Regards,

Clive

Thanks for input, once I have the Macan I will take a look in more detail at the issue.
